    LB David Alston [Nebraska - Signed LOI]

    in 2018 Profiles

    Posted

     

    “David is very explosive for how long he is, and his football IQ is so high that he is usually in the right place at the right time,” Woodbury coach Andy Hill said. “His biggest strength is probably rushing the passer, so most teams will double or triple team him or try to sprint out away. He still gets there, but the offense pays a lot of attention to where No. 5 (Alston) is lined up.”

    Hill tells coaches Alston is the first prospect he’s had with zero red flags on or off the field. Instead of racking up scholarship offers for the sake of it, Hill said, Alston chose to zero in on a few schools where he thought he’d fit best. The Huskers, Wisconsin and Stanford are near the top. Hill said Alston was “very intrigued” by his unofficial visit to Nebraska in the spring.

    “David is very mature and analytical in his thinking, which is why he doesn't rush to make a decision,” Hill said.

    Dez Fitzpatrick. Flipped on us in the last week of signing day and has 173 receiving yards and 3 TDs as a freshman. Also he's 6'2. Also that 6'5 WR who by all accounts we would've gotten but Fitz said he was solid to us and we turned him down and he signed with Oklahoma. Throw in some shorter guys like Grimm and that one WR who committed/decommitted to us like 3 times before flipping on signing day and we've had really bad luck at WR. 

    Forgot about Lavon Alston leaving last year too

    I started this topic with the intention being on the health of Tre after hearing he sat out Mondays practice after he had that many carries. He's a stud! We haven't had that productivity out of a back in while. His 192 yards came on yards after contact and I can't find his longest rush. Don't rember him busting a big one. Some one help me out with his longest. Wilbon had 2 carries for 15 and a score.

    Has any one heard if Tre retuned to practice?

     National perception of the program will be exactly what it is until until we start producing wins or at least show up in games that matter. Last year's Ohio States woodshed beating, Iowa beat down and bowl game was an example of where we're at as a program. Rember we received 1 vote in AP poll. 

      Article made a good point. As a program in whole... No!!! On the defensive side I would say yes. Riely made staff changes that needed to happen. Hough's, Stewert, Reed, and Banker were all upgraded. Parella was a steal in my opinion on the defensive front and already has shown he can recruit...D. Thomas. D. Williams is one of if not the best secondary coaches in the country. We'll probably end up with the best secondary class in the nation due to his recruiting ability. Booker... Yet to be determined. Then there's Bob Diaco. One of the best D coordinators in the country. The only remaining original staff member is Trent Bray. Who almost bolted for a D coordinator gig at SD St. That's allot of new coaches on the D. So in that aspect of article I'd say we did rebuild.

    Offensively we're definitely progressing. We're going to see depth on the O'line, Q-back, running back, and tight ends. WR is shallow.

    So in the offseason there were some complaining that Riley/Langs don't run the ball enough. Then in camp some complained that we must not have good RBs because there was going to be a committee. 

     

    Then in the first game, we have a RB run 31 times and almost reach 200 yards. However, some people still complain. 

     

    Classic.

    Not complaining that a RB had 31 carries. Complaing that a back that only had 43 carries for 172 yards ALL of last season, sat out of fall practice due to "wear and tear" issues with his knee and sat out of practice Monday due to swelling on his knee.
